Analysis of Industrial Parameters for Chemical Combustion Process in Rotary KILN using LabVIEW with Wireless Technology

Abstract

Analysis and control of Industrial  parameters is of prime  importance for most of the process control applications. But deploying cables from various transducers and final control elements to monitoring and controlling stations becomes costly and complex. This problem calls for wireless implementations for monitoring and control applications. This paper dispenses a low cost wireless combustion process parameters Analysing system based on  ZigBee communication protocol. This system contains Rotary KILN unit ,sensors, ZigBee device ,PIC-Micro-controller, and PC (LabVIEW).The system uses Microchip PIC16F72 -controller as signal processing unit in the field of combustion process and NI LabVIEW interface as the Analysing unit. It utilizes a precision temperature sensor , outlet pressure sensor which being a low cost sensors provides a  authentic output within its operating range. The system follows a request response methodology, where the field unit responds to the request made by the Analysis unit of LabVIEW.
